We are still looking stubbornly for green areas in the squares in Madrid where we can sit in the sun. Now as the weather improves, after searching for a while we found one at last. But as much as we have desired we have not dared to use it just yet. And this is the square of Santa Barbara, a huge public space in the centre of the city, which has been redone, and now is decorated with 10 enormous pots with grass in them. Lifted about 50 centimetres above the ground level and surrounded by cortex steel plates, the pots do not make you feel much at ease at all. It is perceived as a place with green obstacles everywhere that serve the only purpose of being looked at.

For this reason, considering what could be done there in order to allow a public use for these green containers, we set out to plant our own vegetable garden in one of them.

So on the night of 6th April, we went out in the streets, carrying some boxes with lovely tomatoes, other with red and green peppers... and we planted them within. This intervention we calledVegetables growing in a useless greenand we really enjoyed how well they looked among the modern public furniture.

The wonderful photos areLola Martínez´s, who joined us this time ,and helped planting tomatoes. Thank you so much.
